Claudia says: ‘From experience, I’ve found that women managers, at both middle and senior management levels, facing overly demanding circumstances that have undermined their self-confidence, often lose their sense of self as leaders. I aim to support them to regain self-belief and confidence in their abilities and improve their mental fitness’.
